    Sterr, Maack & Schultz (eds.): Development Concept for the Territory of the Baltic Green Belt - A Synthesis Report of the INTERREG IVB Project Baltic Green Belt. Coastline Reports 20 (2012), ISSN 0928-2734, ISBN 978-3-939206-05-7 S. 77 - 87 Involving Stakeholders along the Baltic Green Belt of Latvia Erik Sachtleber1 & Andra Ratkeviča2 1Institute of Geography, Kiel University 2Dabas aizsardzības pārvalde, Latvia Abstract An essential part of nature protection is involving stakeholders by communicating the need and the benefits from conserving nature. This is very often not easy to handle, the communication with important stakeholders can be disrupted and communication with these stakeholders might malfunction. In these cases a neutral mediator can influence the process and atmosphere of communication in a way that most disruptions and barriers can be overcome. The Slitere National Park is taken as an example for the processes of communication in nature protection and the impact of a neutral stakeholder in a complicated communication regime. This paper analyses the process of communication, which circumstances influenced this process, the history of the area and its stakeholders. As a result, general guidelines for strategic communication with stakeholders in nature protection are given. 1 Introduction An important part of nature conservation is to reduce the pressure of mankind on nature, for example by reducing the negative effects of stakeholders (organisations or key persons with an interest in the usage of land in a nature protection site), economic development and people’s lifestyle. This means, nature protection depends on involving stakeholders; forming alliances and agreements with those who might harm nature with their actions, although it is not their aim – for example in tourism.

THE CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD The year 2018 has been dynamic for the Regulator with significant changes in regulatory development. In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs.
